The ROPE unit has been devised to have the community and police officers working together to solve the communities problems. (Dempsey & Forst, 2016) Although these officers work an 8 hour shift they are on-call 24 hours a day to help with issues in the community. This way the officers and citizens have to work together and the officers can see the conditions and environment that the citizens are living in. This helps the community have a voice and to feel safer with someone watching their neighborhoods. This also provides a benefit to the police by having a place to live and by getting to know and have the respect on the streets they patrol. OND or the officer next door was designed to make low- income communities more attractive to home buyers.
